Thanks for being a long time supporter.
Anyway, I went through most of the documentation about virtualization and royalties and I understand software developers selling the virtualization software don’t need to pay royalties.
I don’t think that’s quite right. If there is a virtualization product that is sold on iOS or something, a royalty is owed. If it’s a custom work-for-hire project for a client, no royalty is owed on those work-for-hire fees.
It’s clear the company does not need to pay royalties for still images and videos, but if they wanted to create a virtual tour application for real estate agents to demo it to potential customers, will they need to pay anything at all?
Agreed about still images and video. Regarding a virtual tour, it sounds like that virtual tour would have no revenue so there would be no royalty.
